... do not think that the answer to communism is a counter-faith, equally fervent, militant, etc; to begin with, nothing is less likely to create a faith, than perpetual reiteration of the fact that we are looking for one, must find one, are lost without one, etc etc. '( 1 ) The CIA, like every institution of government, has had its own dynamic, its own interests, and its own perspectives on how best to serve the wider interests of US foreign policy. How to connect the Agency's own particular outlook and activities to the overall strategy of US foreign policy has always been a matter of contention. In terms of ...

... some reason the International Criminal Court chooses to ignore; but crimes they are. Indeed, one of the criminals he exposes, a certain Barack Obama, has actually received the Nobel Peace Prize. The story has its origins in the 9/11 attack on the United States and the Bush administration's response. On the one hand, the CIA was let loose to hunt down the perpetrators with J Cofer Black famously promising the idiot president that 'when we're through with them, they will have flies walking across their eyeballs'. From being reliant on US special forces for its paramilitary operations, the CIA once again began building up its own in-house capabilities; although in our ...

Carter's attempt to bargain arms for hostages with Iran in October 1980 therefore failed because competing Israeli shipments were still ongoing. In October 1980, as he was attempting to bargain with Iran, the CIA detected the latest Israeli shipment of arms from the port of Eilat, which caused Carter to "go off the wall". (LA Times, 11/22/86 and All Fall Down, by Gary Sick). Secretary of State Muskie complained about the sales - of spare tyres, wheel and brake assemblies for Iran's American ...

... 1 ) Rostow was equally concerned about the growing unilateralist movement and so helped initiate a similar propaganda exercise in Britain, aimed at neutralising the efforts of CND. It would take three forms: mobilising public opinion, working within the Churches, and a 'dirty tricks' operation against the peace groups. William J. Casey, head of the CIA, met with US Information Agency (USIA) (2 ) to organise the propaganda campaign in Europe. A direct mailing campaign was organised with Richard Viguerie and the U.S . Ambassador to Ireland, Peter Dailey. At the same time, Ernest Lefever, Director of the 'Ethics and Public Policy Programme' at Georgetown University, ...

... long piece, 'Reading Oswald's Hand', about his analysis of the Historic Diary manuscript for the magazine Psychology Today in April 1978. It is that article, which gives a wealth of background details not discussed in Legend, that forms the basis of this essay.6 In Psychology Today Mr Epstein records that he took advice from 'a former CIA research director' who helpfully 'mentioned that the agency had on occasion used a graphologist to help crack difficult cases'. Mr Epstein describes feeling 'startled' by the notion that the CIA believed in graphology. That feeling can only have been amplified as the CIA man explained how 'from an analysis of clandestine correspondence, the graphologist was able to ...

... as reported at the time. An open and shut case: Olson had a cocktail of medical problems, both physical and mental, so it is sort of understandable that he self-precipitated (to use the correct nomenclature). Right? There the story should have ended and there were plenty of government departments including the Army, the CIA, the FBI, and the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, who were praying that it did. Well, it did, for a while anyway. Twenty years were to pass before the story of MKULTRA and the circumstances of the death began to seep out.
